Abstract: 
Quadrupedal robots are able to exhibit a range of gaits, each with its own traversability and energyefficiency characteristics. By actively coordinating between gaits in different scenarios, energy-efficient and adaptivelocomotion can be achieved. This study investigates the performance of learned energy-efficiency policies forquadrupedal gaits under different commands. We propose a training-synthesizing framework that integrates learnedgait-conditioned locomotion policies into an efficient multiskill locomotion policy. The resulting control policiesachieved low-cost smooth switching and controllable gaits. Our results of the learned multiskill policy demonstrateseamless gait transitions while maintaining energy optimality across all commands
